Leaving the town was interesting, because the trip is, of course, longer than the cabby said, and we just kept climbing out of the city, and we could even see the royal hill in the center of the city. And then the cab overheated and we had to wait while he refilled it. Those things never happen in the states, but maybe they should. Keeps life exciting.<br /><br />As we neared the park? ruins? I saw some rocks that looked eerily similar to weathertop, or an ancient castle... and it turns out it was even named similarly. Ray didn't want to hike the two miles over to it (and back), but it was pretty cool from a distance. If I ever return to Peru, this will be high on my list. My little brother would happily spend all day climbing there.<br /><br />Anyways, at one point I scrambled across a rock through an opening in a wall and found a 50' waterfall, not a torrent, just a trickle cascading off of the rocks in front of me and falling down into the hole in front of me. It is like an entirely different world, or a movie set, except so much bigger.<br /><br />By "fireworks" she means an old man launching home-made rockets that look like they could (and sometimes did) veer off in any direction. Usually when children walked by. Best retirement job ever.<br /><br />Also, Ray didn't mention the food. Cajamarca had amazing pizza. We tried two places, one of them was a pizza-maker who chatted with us the whole time, who spent time in italy learning to cook, and the other was recommended to us by an ex-pat tea-bar guy (really good hot chocolate) as the best pizza in the city. We got some cool seats where we could actually watch our pizza cook inside the oven, and the place was full of locals eating in and taking out.Bricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303663734792510427noreply@blogger.com
